Sentimental Micah

On Sunday we had dinner at my parents' house and then Ryan went up to stay at his folks' house because he had an early dentist appointment in Gresham (I know, we've been in Salem for 5 years. Its time to change dentists). We all packed up the cars, said good-byes and I had the kids in the van heading home when Micah said this: "Sometimes I cry a little bit when I say goodbye to Daddy because I love him so much."

Lets see, what else has been going on? Micah and Amelia were both sick for a week. I'm finally succumbing to "the cold." I got a sub for the afternoon yesterday and slept from 12:45 to 4:45 when Ryan called to see if I could pick up the kids. But that's probably because I'm pregnant. Oops. Did I say that? Yes, baby #3 should be joining us around the end of October. Its funny listening to Micah try to explain to Amelia that there is a baby growing in my tummy. His first comment was, "I see your tummy growing already." Then Amelia said, "Mommy, I want to see the baby in your tummy." Fun times here.

Oh, and why am I up at 3:00AM? Partly because I'm on sleep overload, but also Micah just threw up and we just finished changing his sheets and putting him back to bed.

Pastor John

For those of you who remember, I wrote a while back about our pastor who had "come as close to death as you can without dying." I think that's how the doctor put it. He is recovering at home finally and has his own blog. I've added it to my blog roll. It is incredible how someone can be so encouraging while dealing with his own issues. I encourage you to read it and be encouraged.
